11. The Motherboard Motherboard Key is to make sure your motherboard supports the CPU, RAM, and expansion cards you plan on using

12. The Processor “The Brains of the Computer” Components Control Unit Arithmetic & Logic Unit

13. The Processor Control Unit Reads & Interprets Program Instructions Directs the Operation of the Processor Controls the flow of programs and data into and out of memory

14. The Processor Arithmetic & Logic Unit Arithmetic: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division Logic: Comparisons (And, Or, Not)

15. The Processor Machine Cycle FetchDecodeExecuteStore

16. The Processor Fetch Calls an instruction into memory

17. The Processor Decode Figures out what the instruction is trying to do

18. The Processor Execute Does the decoded instruction Add 2+2

19. The Processor Store Puts the answer 4 into memory for use by another instruction

20. The Processor Pipelining Executing multiple instructions at the same time FETCHDECODEEXECUTESTORE Instruction 1 Instruction 2 Instruction 3 Instruction 4

21. The Processor The System Clock A Crystal Oscillator on the Motherboard that paces the machine cycle

22. The Processor Clock Cycle Measured in MHz or GHz Megahertz = 1,000,000 cycles/sec Gigahertz = 1,000,000,000 cycles/sec

23. The Processor Clock Cycle One clock cycle is calculated by dividing 1 by the MHz or GHz Example: (800 MHz CPU) 1/800,000,000 = 0.00000000125 or 1.25 nanoseconds (nano = billionth) (1.25 billionths of a second)

24. The Processor Clock Cycle The shorter the clock cycle the faster the processor

25. The Processor Types of Processors AMD Athlon X2INTEL Core2Duo

29. The Processor Dual-Core Processors INTEL Core2Duo AMD Athlon X2

30. The Processor Data Representation ANALOGDIGITAL BINARY SYSTEM (2)

31. The Processor Bit = 0 or 1 Byte = 8 bits Byte = Character (ABC, 012, etc)

32. The Processor Hertz a unit of frequency of electrical vibrations equal to one cycle per second

33. The Processor MHz – Megahertz Mega = Million GHz – Gigahertz Giga = Billion THz – Terahertz Tera = Trillion

37. MEMORY Random Access Memory (RAM)

38. MEMORY Kilobyte (KB/K) = 1,024 bytes or 2 10 or 2 10 Megabyte (MB/M) = 1,048,576 bytes or 2 20 Gigabyte (GB/G) = 1,073,741,824 bytes or 2 30

39. MEMORY Memory Speeds: Millisecond = One-thousandth/sec Microsecond = One-millionth/sec Nanosecond = One-billionth/sec Picosecond = One-trillionth/sec

40. MEMORY Most common form of memory is Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM)

41. MEMORY Common RAM Types SDRAM DDR SDRAM

42. MEMORY Common RAM Types DDR2 SDRAM RDRAM (RAMBUS)

43. MEMORY Common DDR SDRAM Types DDR SpeedPC Rating DDR 200PC1600 DDR 266PC2100 DDR 333PC2700 DDR 400PC3200 DDR2 400PC3200 DDR2 533PC4200 DDR2 667PC5300 DDR2 800PC6400

44. MEMORY How Much RAM do I Need? 256 MB Minimum for Windows XP 512 MB Minimum for Audio/Video Editing 1000 MB Minimum for 3D Design/Animation 2000 MB for Windows XP x64 2000 MB for Windows Vista x32 4000 MB for Windows Vista x64

45. MEMORY CACHE High Speed Memory that stores instructions and data for frequent use

46. MEMORY L1 Cache – CPU - Fastest 8 KB to 128 KB 2-4ns L2 Cache – Motherboard - Slower 64 KB to 4 MB 3-6ns L3 Cache – Motherboard – Slower 256 KB – 4 MB 4-8ns

47. MEMORY Read Only Memory (ROM) Cannot Erase Stores Permanent Data and Instructions

48. MEMORY BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is the built-in software that determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk

49. MEMORY Flash Memory Can be erased electronically CMOS - Uses a Battery to retain data Also external form available:
